{Bookish Playlist} Circe by Madeline Miller

Hey, guys!

If you've been following me for the past year or so, you'll probably know of my deep, intense love for Madeline Miller's novel, Circe. Since listening and reading it in June of 2019, I've read it once more earlier this year (2020). Circe has quickly become one of my all-time favorite novels. I cannot recommend it enough. It has become one of the books that inspire me, empowers me, and enthralls me. I've always loved mythology, but the stories that surround mythological women are my favorite. Madeline Miller and Circe are the definite reason why I'm currently writing my own novel surrounding the Norse goddess, Freyja. 

While driving home this afternoon, I was listening to Taylor Swift's newest album, Folklore (Oh my gosh it's so fantastic. Please listen and love it!). By far, my favorite song (right now) is "mad woman." It perfectly encapsulates so many moments (and the vibe) of Circe -- at least in my opinion...and based upon my reading experiences. 

In my playlist, you will find a mixture of folk-like sounds, songs with witchy-vibes, directly witchy musical content, some spooky, atmospheric pieces, and some of my favorite songs of all time.

While you may not use Spotify, I've included a screenshot of the current song list. If you decide to follow the playlist, you will most likely see some new music added if I were to find more that encapsulate the novel. 

I'm planning on posting more bookish playlists, so if there are any books that you'd like to see featured, please comment below or connect with me on my social media! I'd love to expand on my playlist-making abilities. Additionally, if you have some songs that you think would be a fantastic addition, please share them! 

Happy reading!
